Ponte di Legno, 24 May 2013 – Due to adverse weather conditions and, in particular, snow on the stage route in its entirety, stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia, from Ponte di Legno to Val Martello/Martelltal, has been cancelled.

May 23 update:The above interactive map and the video previews below are for the original route that included high mountain passes over of the Gavia and Stelvio (current photo, left). However, because of bad weather, today they have been replaced with Passo del Tonale and Passo Castrin. The profile, map and timetable links above reflect the new route. The finishing climb remains the same. -- Steve
